The injury suffered by Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has sparked widespread concern in Egyptian sporting circles after he was forced to leave the pitch during his team's match against Crystal Palace with a hamstring muscle injury, less than two months before the start of the 2026 World Cup.
Salah was injured in the 58th minute of the match, collapsing to the ground before the medical staff intervened to treat him, and he left the game without being able to continue amid notable crowd reaction.
Liverpool are awaiting the results of detailed medical examinations to determine the nature of the injury and the expected length of his absence, at a time when fears are growing over its impact on the remainder of the season and the possible implications for his future with the club.
The technical staff of the Egypt national team are also closely monitoring the international star's condition, given his importance for the upcoming global tournament, with the draw placing Egypt in a group that includes Belgium, Iran and New Zealand.
